A specialist in 4-way stretch brushed-back warp knits, M.I.T.I. has introduced two new fabric ranges at this week's Performance Days show in Munich and Annecy. One range offers 4-way stretch brushed-back warp knits with a natural ultra opaque look and the other focuses on texture, offered in a variety of styles.

A highly functional fabric range, M.I.T.I.'s 4-way stretch brushed-back warp knits are said to combine multiple performance properties including superior thermoregulation, top quality elasticity, excellent durability and all around high wearer comfort.

The vertically integrated Italian mill says it has invested in cutting-edge knitting equipment and developed new finishes to achieve an ideal combination of function and aesthetics. In addition, the new fabrics, available in a wide range of looks and styles, comply with Bluesign standards.

Designed for active wear and for fashion end-uses, the new warp knits fabrics by M.I.T.I. combine high stretch with soft brushed backs and are said to be ideal for second layer garments such as tops, leggings, pants and jackets.

Over the years, M.I.T.I. has developed a number of specialties and exclusive fabrics which have acquired a leading position in active wear, including Superroubaix and Thermoroubaix stretch brushed back fabrics. The company says its recently launched MititechThermal and MititechPower brands complete its product offering with a full range of genuine compression performing fabrics for athletic apparel.

M.I.T.I. Spa is a vertically integrated Italian mill specialized in warp knitted stretch fabrics for activewear. Based in Zogno, Italy, the company was founded in 1931 by Vincenzo Polli and is still managed by the same family. With cutting-edge knitting, finishing and dyeing equipment, M.I.T.I. Spa produces over 8 million meters of fabric per year.  

M.I.T.I. is widely regarded as a leading innovative mill for technical fabrics and highly appreciated in many demanding active sports markets such as cycling, cross country skiing, triathlon and endurance sports which require superior performing fabrics.
